Can hear thunder out in the western part of the system and looking at the radar map, we are right in the middle of the weather that Brandon had a little while ago.  Not sure if it is going to rain like it did out west, but the weather is grumbling a bit ...  watching the Brandon cam there is still sunlight on our last wall chick but dark-dark here in Winnipeg, odd to watch ...

Just as an FYI

Last night there was an "injured hawk" was reported at 233 Portage near a fountain, however there is no fountain at or near 233 which is the Curry Building.  I'm wondering if they meant the Air Canada Building (349 Portage) or the building that houses APTN (339 Portage).  In any case, the bird was not a peregrine but rather a merlin and it is injured but being treated now by Wildlife Haven.

Sorry, had a conference call at 1:30. Right now, two are on the north side of the lower west section. There is a higher section in the middle, but they seem to like either the east or west lower sides better.   

Thanks CB - if I can see those lower sections with my cams, I now know where to look  :)

All 3 are on Delta ledge again. One is lying down. So cute!! Binocs not powerful enough to see leg bands though.

What side of the Delta CB?  I can see the Delta from the Radisson with the cams and would like to see if I can spot them ... thx  :)

Two chicks and a parent on the east side of the lower section of the Delta roof. Brought binocs today!!

Glad you remembered the binocs CB!! 
Now we have to get you to recognize the birds by size - Hillary and Princess being females are bigger than Tenzing and Ivy ...  ;D
And if you can see leg bands - Ivy's black band is on his right leg, Princess' black over green band is on her left ...  ;)

Just tuned in to see Hillary (?) on a rooftop (Paris building?).  She sat around for awhile, then started flapping and just took off to the left of the view (her right ;))

I am thrilled you have spotted the 2 chicks. Little devils

I am sorry if I sounded critical about where are the watchers??Was not intended, just missed all their reports, and comical stories :-* but I see some others are reporting and that is great. and always thanks TPC

Ours are late also so my fledge will be sketchy. I have watch at U of a starting Monday and Weber will not be another week and a half.

good luck everyone. will keep checking in

I was in the area of the Delta around 1:30 and of course was alerted of a falcon by the squawking sounds first and then spotted one flying between the church and the Delta. Landed on the roof. Assumed this was the female as they seem to be the most vocal in flight. Last year the female also was found in this area. Lot's of different roof elevations.
